GUIDE

TV setup guide

Set up the Masjid View screen in about 30 minutes. Choose the way that suits your TV, then pair the screen with a 6-digit code from the AJK panel.

Before you start: connect the TV to the masjid WiFi that stays on all day (not a phone hotspot), and make sure the date, time and Kuala Lumpur time zone (GMT+8) are correct.

Android smart TV / Google TV

  1. On the TV, open Google Play. Search for and install a web browser app.
  2. Open the browser and type the address https://masjidview.my/tv
  3. If the browser has a start page or home page setting, set it to the same address.
  4. If the browser can open by itself when the TV is switched on (start on boot or kiosk mode), turn that on so the screen comes back after a power cut.
  5. In the TV settings, turn off the screen saver and sleep mode so the screen stays on.

Ordinary TV + Android TV box

  1. Plug the Android TV box into the TV's HDMI port and connect the box to WiFi.
  2. Choose the right HDMI input with the TV remote.
  3. On the box, follow the same steps as for the Android smart TV above.
  4. Check the box's settings (Display or Power) so it does not go to sleep.

Laptop over HDMI

  1. Connect the laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable and choose the HDMI input on the TV.
  2. Open a web browser and go to https://masjidview.my/tv
  3. Press F11 (or choose Full screen in the browser menu) so the page fills the TV.
  4. In the power settings, set the laptop never to sleep and never to turn the screen off.
  5. Keep the charger plugged in.

Pair the screen with the 6-digit code

  1. Once masjidview.my/tv is open, the TV shows a 6-digit code and a QR code.
  2. On your phone, sign in at masjidview.my/admin and open Screens, then Add screen.
  3. Enter the code (or scan the QR code) and give the screen a name, for example Main hall.
  4. Within a few seconds the TV shows your masjid's prayer times and announcements.
  5. The code expires after 10 minutes. The TV shows a new code by itself.

If something goes wrong

The WiFi drops
Prayer times keep showing because they are stored on the TV. New announcements appear again when the connection is back.
The time or clock is wrong
Make sure the device's time zone is Kuala Lumpur (GMT+8) and the date is right. The screen corrects small differences itself, but a wrong time zone confuses it.
The screen turns off or goes to sleep
Turn off the screen saver, sleep mode and auto power off in the TV, box or laptop settings.
The pairing code is not accepted
Codes expire after 10 minutes. Reload the page on the TV to get a new code, then try again.
The TV shows the pairing code again
That screen was removed in the AJK panel. Pair it again with a new code.
